America's Hat

Enjoy some photos first:

Bob's steep driveway outside of Nashville (story to come later), the driveway has anywhere from 5-30% grades, I had to walk my bike up it:
Apparently people jumping off this bridge is not uncommon:
Alabama evidentially does not believe in privacy:
Cyprus swamp:
Jehovas witnesses were coming around and handing out these in Jackson MS. I kept calling them Jeremiah prophets:
After a couple of hours of drinking I thought it would be a good idea to fill out the back and mail it in (obviously not for me):
Jackson Mississippi on Sundays.... You could run naked through the middle of downtown and no one would see you:
I thought it was a gas station at night apparently not:

Offending our neighbors from the north:
It was simple actually. I met some Canadians who were traveling down to Texas in their RVs for the winter. Apparently it's common since I have met about 10 different rv couples so far.
The conversation started out friendly and I asked the guy cool things to do in Quebec. He told me the usual tourists stuff. I asked how hard is it to get hockey tickets. 
Canada: who plays der? 
Me: uhhhhh the Montreal Canadians, right?
Canada: how woooood I know?
Me: isn't hockey the past time up there?
Canada: whereeee did ya get that idea eh?
Me: you produce some of the best players, Olympic gold medals, you know. I thought it was a bunch of fanatics.
Canada: ehhh that's all you think Canada is? all you Americans are the same thinking hockey is our past time. So steeerotypical. Unvelievable.
Me: curling? 
Canada: no
Me: are you kidding right now? Not hockey or curling? What about bottling maple syrup? Those are the only three things I know of that you can do in canada. You seem to produce a lot.
Canada: our past times are the same as America, baseball, golf, ya know those sports.
At this point I just decided it was best to end the conversation, the guy was being dead serious, I looked at his wife to see if he was bluffing but she was straight faced. 

Turrets story will come in a bit, typing on the iPhone is difficult, first world problems right?
